Soaring on Dragon’s Wings to Success

The most successful Adria Security Summit Powered by Intersec has closed its doors in Ljubljana. Behind them, it left a trail of record-breaking figures in all categories: with its 150 exhibitors, 2800 guests from 43 countries, and 5000 held meetings, the Summit confirmed its position as a leading regional event for the exchange of knowledge, innovation, and business opportunities in the world of security and sectors based on it.

As visitation numbers can sometimes sound dry, let’s start the story of this year’s Summit with an anecdote that we opened this year’s event with a four-legged robot and a dragon. The robotic guard dog was the messenger of the future of the industry that we are dedicated to, while we adopted the Ljubljana Dragon, the symbol of this city, as the informal mascot of this year’s Summit. From the robodog, we borrowed the symbolism of loyalty to the idea of promoting security, while the Dragon was the source of strength to turn that loyalty into an extremely successful event whose statistical records are backed by an organization supported by rich experience and the largest turnout of guests from all over the world.

In Prestigious Company: Among the Security 50 Elite and Premier Regional Exhibitors

We proudly hosted no fewer than 150 exhibitors at this year’s Adria Security Summit, marking the largest number of participants ever. More importantly, it also includes 10 security companies from the prestigious Security 50 list of the world’s best market players (Hikvision, ASSA ABLOY, Nedap, Suprema, ZK Teco, Uniview, Avigilon by Motorola Solutions, etc.), as well as the cream of the crop in regional companies such as Alarm automatika, Akoda +, CreaPlus, Eccos Inženjering, Tenzor, Systeh, TRS, and others. This impressive figure confirms the growing reputation and importance of our event in the security industry and beyond. Among the participants, we would like to especially thank the sponsors, which number 180 companies, including the diamond (Alarm automatica, Konica Minolta), platinum (A koda plus, Ateis Europe, Bosch Security and Safety Systems, CREAPlus, Monitoreal, Nedap Security Management, Suprema Europe, Teksel , ZKTeco Europe), and gold sponsors (Advancis, ASSA ABLOY, Hikvision, Kaspersky, Avigilon by Motorola Solutions, PRIANTO, Qognify, Ruijie Networks, SALTO Systems, Spica Group, Stelkom, Tenzor, TecnoAlarm, Ultravision Consult, Zarja elektronika).

A Regional Event with Global Impact and Record-Breaking Attendance

We cannot conclude the story of statistics without the inevitable numbers, and this year they once again served as an illustration of the fact that this year’s Summit with a record 2,800 guests from 43 countries recorded a 12% increase in the number of visitors compared to the high 2,500 from last year’s gathering in Zagreb. It is important to note that almost 17% of them came from outside the region, which leads to the conclusion that the Summit has quietly outgrown its regional uniform and dressed in a new international outfit. Thus, the Gospodarsko Razštavišče venue opened its door to guests with travel documents from Great Britain, the United States of America, Cyprus, Bulgaria, the Netherlands, China, Turkey, Germany, Austria, Ireland, Italy, the Czech Republic, Spain, Norway, Canada, Romania, Israel, France, Poland, Latvia, Estonia, Denmark, Sweden, Belgium, Ukraine, Hungary, Greece, Egypt, United Arab Emirates, Finland and Taiwan.

This by no means suggests that the already traditionally good response of regional visitors is something to be glossed over because the Summit still proudly carries the word “Adria” as its seal of recognizability. In this segment, the structure of guests clearly reflects the regional recognition of the Summit and the expressed interest of the participants to use it as a bridge for establishing cooperation with the rest of the world. The largest number of guests comes from Croatia and the host country Slovenia, with shares of 22.23% and 20.71% respectively. Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, and North Macedonia are also significantly represented, with 12.28%, 17.57%, and 8.66%. Although with a slightly smaller share in relation to the number of inhabitants, Montenegro was well represented at the event with 2.30% of guests, which shows that the commitment to the development of the security industry has nothing to do with the country’s population size or the square kilometers in the atlas.

Almost 40% of the participants are the highest-ranked company representatives

Adria Security Summit 2023 proved to be a rock-solid axis for connecting professionals from different sectors, with a dynamic structure of participants that emphasizes the event’s inclusive approach to security and related industries. As an illustration, let us cite the fact that again this year the Summit served as a versatile platform for business networking on the spot, with a record 5,000 meetings held. This year’s Summit was attended by an impressive 38.06% of senior management representatives and executives, which is an indication of the attractiveness of the event among the highest decision-makers in the security sector and related industries. Regional or national sales and distribution executives, managers, and staff made up a significant 21.58% of attendees. The “technical” segment of the profession at the Summit was not neglected either, with 17.83% of participants representing engineers, experts, and developers. The middle level of management, which consists of managers of key clients, projects, and business development, made up 15.68% of those present.

The Summit as a Mirror of Industry Evolution: The Rise of Cyber Security

Adria Security Summit as a concept was developed from the beginning as a dynamic mirror of industrial trends which, among other things, are reflected in the representation of participants with the entire range of products and verticals from which they come. Video surveillance solutions continue to hold a prominent place at the Summit, with 18.03% of the exhibition space dedicated to them. Unsurprisingly, video surveillance is followed by cyber security solutions (10.19% of exhibitors), which is a reconfirmation of the Summit’s role as a messenger of the industry trends, which, today, puts an increasing focus on protecting digital assets and systems from cyber threats. Another surprise at the Summit was the high representation (10.61%) of fire alarms, smoke, and gas warning equipment, and solutions for fire protection and evacuation. This category has shown the all-time relevance of dedication to fire protection and the need for the best possible response to emergencies that follow people practically from the moment the first fire is lit.

Access control and time & attendance systems, with their 8.20% representation, had standard good visibility, and together with anti-burglary and accompanying alarm systems (9.52%), they make up an important piece of the security pie that industry representatives still rely on today. This spectrum is closed by mechanical security (4.21%) and perimeter protection systems (5.32%), which are indicators of the permanent importance of the combination of “old-school” technical security and new technological solutions for everyone who is looking for a holistic approach to the protection of life and property at the Summit.

Other significant sectors include smart homes and cities and automation solutions (6.80%) which are equally represented by the IT/ICT industry (7.71%) as a relatively new but nowadays inevitable part of the security, IT, and communication landscapes of modern living and business. Finally, many verticals collectively covered 9.49% of the exhibition segment and they include communications and transportation, manufacturing, construction and architecture, retail and distribution, banking/finance, hospitality, education, oil and gas, healthcare, mobility, the housing sector, and pharmacy. The diversity of these verticals is indicative of the growing security needs in each of them, positioning Summit as a key platform within which these professionals can easily explore and find solutions to their business challenges and dilemmas.

Ahead of Sarajevo 2024 Event

With a range of topics and case studies, the Adria Security Summit 2023 left guests and participants with plenty of topics to think about, which they will ultimately easily “melt” into actionable items in their business strategies. The event in Ljubljana completed a cycle in which the Summit managed to establish itself as a central place for the exchange of knowledge, ideas, and technological achievements in the security and other sectors. Before returning to Sarajevo, the place where the Adria Security Summit took its first steps on the way to becoming the largest regional industrial event of its type back in 2015, the organizers face the important but also sweet challenge of surpassing everything achieved so far, and to the satisfaction of all participants without which this road to success would be longer and thornier. Until we meet in Sarajevo in 2024, let the Adria Security Summit 2023 remain the most-read chapter in the story of the success of our industrial event and its audience.

By:  t.koseoglu@trassir.com.tr; http://www.trassir.com;

Over the years, TRASSIR has built an entire video surveillance system which combines CCTV cameras, video recorders, video management servers, cloud services, neural analytics, and access control systems.

TRASSIR has already achieved significant success in several countries, including the Turkish region. Our primary objective in Turkey is to establish a strong and enduring presence. The company is constantly growing and today offers an environment for providing security in different fields – retail, city surveillance, traffic, building, banking and much more.

This year also saw the opening of the TRASSIR office in Istanbul. Now we have a Turkish-speaking team, a showroom where customers can see all the TRASSIR modules and take part in some live demos, and a storage room in the office which will make logistics much easier. The team in the Turkish office is ready to support you in sales, marketing, pre-sales and technical needs with 12 members of the team, all of whom are fluent in Turkish.

TRASSIR solutions are implemented in a lot of residential complexes in Turkey, such as DAP YAPI, Istanbul Acıbadem Kosuyolu Residence, Tema Instanbul, INNOVIA 2 and 3, Essenora and others.

The INNOVIA 3 complex is located in Esenyurt and consists of 10 blocks and 3 293 apartments with an area of 95 000 m². This sizable area has been equipped with TRASSIR VMS, which now guarantees the safety of all visitors and residents of INNOVIA 3 and protects against terrorism, theft and fires. The main aim was to use the unified TRASSIR VMS and video analytical modules to prevent any unauthorized access due to timely notifications and alarms.

There are a lot of successful projects in the industrial sector as well, such as Mata Automotive Factory in Istanbul, Cengiz Makina Factory in Tuzla, Faurecia Poliplex Automotive Factory, Edirne Industrial Zone and others. For instance, Cengiz Makina Factory, one of the leading players of the metal machining industry is where TRASSIR ensured safe operation within the steel processing shops and maintained the perimeter security using the Face Recognition module.

When digital PINs replace traditional keys, staff in a small business save time

London, November 2023 – In many small businesses, the task of handing out and tracking keys is laborious and time-consuming. And because mechanical locking requires a keyholder (or keyholders) to be present, staff absences or vacations cause a problem — including unnecessary waiting around for an important door to be opened. A simple, familiar solution is offered when businesses make a simple switch to digital PIN locking.

“We had a door with a classic lock and key,” explains Tom Smeets, owner of family-run Smeets Pharmacy in Lint, near Antwerp. “But seven of us were working here, it was really complicated.”

Smeets sought a modern, digital approach to access — a more efficient replacement for mechanical lock-and-key security. The aim was to provide his pharmacy staff with more convenient door security which would do away with any need for them to hang around waiting for a keyholder, which can waste valuable time and money for the business.

The solution had to be easy to operate; a small business like Smeets Pharmacy does not employ a security manager or access control specialist. And, of course, reliable security with an established track-record in protecting staff, premises and medicines was non-negotiable.

Everyone has their own PIN — no one carries keys

To replace the existing lock, Smeets selected ASSA ABLOY’s Code HandleÒ Door Lock. This modern device brought convenient security to the business: It looks and works just like any other door handle but incorporates digital PIN security inside.

Doors equipped with Code Handle unlock with up to 9 different 4- to 6-digit PINs; all staff have their own. Anyone’s PIN can be cancelled or changed anytime.

Because of its simplicity, cost-effectiveness and easy installation, Code Handle is a popular choice at small and medium-sized medical practices across Europe. The device fits right onto an existing standard locking cylinder and is quickly fixed in place with two screws; it’s simple, even for non-specialists.

There’s no wiring and no software. Power comes from long-lasting standard batteries. “It’s so practical. It also gives a very professional impression,” he adds.

For users, a Code Handle is convenient. They simply push the buttons to enter their PIN and work the handle as normal. It’s all familiar, but with no need for anyone to carry keys, keycards or any other credential.

It doesn’t matter if a keyholder is on leave, sick or just late. Everyone gets in as soon as they need by inputting their personalized PIN.

“There’s no longer any problem with the key as before,” says Smeets. “Of course, I am very satisfied. It’s a perfect solution for us.”

The modern workplace needs electronic access control for more than just doors

London, November 2023 – Often overlooked, storage for valuables, documents and personal items deserves the same protection as offices, labs or accommodation. Yet many access solutions leave these important access points poorly secured. Intelligent electronic control often stops at the door, ignoring the critical safety needs of many forgotten openings.

One common facilities management solution is to run two systems in parallel: electronic access for doors, and mechanical security for “non-door” openings which many electronic systems cannot accommodate.

However, running two access control workflows based on different technologies increases risk and complexity, and eats up admin time. Users carry multiple credentials, so there is more chance they lose one. Security teams now must issue, track and monitor multiple credentials and credential types. It creates unnecessary hassle for everyone.

A growing need for “non-door” security

A cabinet or drawer lock fitted at relevant points, and integrated with the central system, can give many valuable assets the security they require. Once integrated with the system software, this electronic device can deter unauthorized access and reduce workplace theft − which in the USA alone may cost businesses $50 billion each year*.

In the healthcare sector, enhanced cabinet security can protect medicines and confidential documents. In universities and schools, students and staff experience peace of mind when they can leave belongings in lockers in communal areas or changing rooms which are properly secured.

In today’s more flexible workplaces, many office users don’t have “their” desk, where confidential or valuable assets are stored safely. They just use “a” desk. Unsurprisingly, according to business services provider Clutch, almost a quarter of coworking space users have security concerns**. The right cabinet security does more than just save management time. It also helps building users become relaxed about their belongings’ safety.

How, then, can facilities managers identify the best devices − easy to install, convenient and economical to run − and integrate them without expense or hassle?

Hardware solutions to integrate overlooked openings with access control

ASSA ABLOY offers a choice of security solutions for these forgotten access points. In many cases, multiple non-door locking types may also be integrated with a third-party system and managed together, to maximize the flexibility and efficiency of security admin.

The new battery-powered Aperio® KL100, for example, secures lockers, cabinets, cupboards, drawers and more. It makes almost any small opening an integral part of an electronic access control system. Designed for minimal disruption to furniture, its tiny footprint and wire-free operation ensure quick installation without causing damage or making a visual impact. It integrates seamlessly with any new or existing access control system — from over 100 different manufacturers and counting.

Finavia, operator of Helsinki Airport, must lock all types of opening, from doors and cabinets to fences and cargo. Devices all integrate seamlessly with their Lenel access control system. Check-in desks are fitted with Aperio KL100 locking, to ensure travel documents are stored safely. Audit trail capability simplifies the process of learning who accessed the storage and when.

This is much easier to monitor than mechanical key security: “When employees change, their access is disabled,” explains Kari Mäkinen, the airport’s Senior Access Control Specialist. “Or if the card is lost, it can be completely removed from the system. With mechanical keys, that process is much harder.”

At Funway Academic Resort, student accommodation in Madrid, a single SMARTair system provides flexible, reliable electronic protection for bedrooms, common areas and student safes. No sensitive openings are overlooked. Part of the SMARTair® complete access control solution, SMARTair e-motion Cabinet Locks with integrated RFID readers work with a wide range of credentials. They offer convenient unlocking via smartphone and are easily managed together with wireless door locking devices and electronic padlocks using SMARTair’s intuitive software.

ASSA ABLOY also offers programmable key-based security for non-door openings such as gates, lockers, cabinets and vending machines. With CLIQ®, users enjoy the convenience of carrying just one programmable battery-powered smart key which unlocks every door or access point they are authorized to open. Access rights are managed efficiently with a choice of remote or locally installed software.

PTZ CCTV cameras: when you need to look around

PTZ stands for “Pan-Tilt-Zoom”. PTZ CCTV cameras can move left and right, up and down, and also have the ability to zoom in on the image. This allows for remote control of the viewing direction and the ability to perform planned “patrols” of an area manually or even in automatic mode, following predefined points.

The first PTZ video camera was invented in 1954. These models were controlled using mechanical devices such as handles and levers. Over the last seven decades, PTZ cameras have undergone significant advancements. They now use digital and motorized systems to provide high-quality images, precision, and camera movement speed. Such cameras are often equipped with automated “smart” features, such as tracking moving objects – people or vehicles.

PTZ cameras find wide applications in various fields:

  • Firstly, it’s natural that they are used for the security and protection of industrial facilities, offices, and commercial premises.
  • Secondly, these cameras are often installed on streets and highways to enhance road safety and assist law enforcement.
  • Thirdly, they are in high demand in logistics, especially for navigation and transport safety.

A more exotic application is wildlife observation. PTZ cameras allow researchers to effectively monitor animals in their natural habitats.

Forestry operations often utilize PTZ cameras. They are installed on special towers above tree level, allowing for the quick detection of possible forest fires and their suppression.

Finally, the military and defence sector is a very relevant application area for PTZ cameras. They are actively used for border surveillance, on military bases, checkpoints, and more.

Partizan, following the latest CCTV industry trends, also manufactures its own PTZ cameras. This modern equipment meets the strictest requirements.

Partizan PTZ cameras are created based on high-tech sensors capable of delivering images in Super HD quality up to 4K. They are reliably protected from moisture and dust with an IP66 rating. Special attention is paid to the durability of the camera’s housing and moving parts since they often operate outdoors, where adverse weather conditions are not uncommon: heavy rains, storms, and snowdrifts. Most Partizan PTZ cameras maintain full functionality at temperatures ranging from -40 to +60 °C.

Partizan PTZ cameras are “smart” devices. Depending on the model, they support current smart video analytics features, including motion detection, face and license plate recognition, human and vehicle detection, object detection, intrusion detection, and line crossing. These cameras can also be integrated with third-party security systems, significantly enhancing the effectiveness of protecting important facilities such as airports, ports, parking lots, warehouses, military bases, residential complexes, and more.
